1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Genomic profiles of 66 strains of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) isolated in Japan were investigated with regard to restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and length variation of fragments containing reiterations. There were two predominant genotypes of F1 and F35, and the genomic characteristics of each were studied. The nucleotide change between F1 and F35 was estimated to be 1.5%. An RFLP marker (VR23) peculiar to genotype F35 was identified as the first case of genomic marker specific to a predominant genotype of HSV-1, and is the diagnostic marker of F35. The a sequences (repeating in an HSV-1 genome and containing reiterations) of F35 were cleaved by SacII on the DR4 (direct repeat 4) stretch, while a sequences of F1 had a rearranged DR4 and were resistant to SacII digestion. Thus, analyses of fragments containing reiterations, such as a sequences, can serve to classify HSV-1 strains as well as for purpose of differentiation. The proportion of strains derived from primary infection to those from recurrent infection was higher in strains of F35 than in those of F1, and this genotypic difference within HSV-1 may possibly influence clinical manifestations.
